  1. Volvo does not officially offer a reseal kit for the SX trim cylinders. With that said, OMC does offer a reseal kit which I'm told will work to reseal the SX trim cylinders as the OMC cylinders were virtually identical. The OMC trim cylinder reseal kit part number is 985060 (cost is $27.25 plus tax) compared to a new Volvo SX trim cylinder which is ($472.50 plus tax each).

     

    Get your manuals for engine and outdrive from this Seloc link.

  2. Dan,

    The picture you posted is a cockpit cover. A mooring cover will cover the entire boat from bow to stern. By the way, the Taylor Made canvas division in Florida, is now known as Ameritex.

     

    If you want a mooring cover for the entire boat, I would suggest contacting either Fisher Canvas

    They make outstanding products.


  3. The $3,000 I mentioned was for a used gen-set, that was installed by someone who is qualified to do it themselves.

    Cheapest it could possibly be. Professional install, new gen set is more like the 6K you mention.

     

    IMO, it's not really worth it on that size of boat. Nice to have, but you will not re-coup that expenditure once you sell the boat. Seems to me the Honda is dong what it needs to for now. Stick with that and look at moving up to a 320SY. ;)

     

    Boating is possible up north here, but our 282 is still in storage until first week of April. Changes are in store for us soon I hope. Have a deal in the works for a new Monterey, that hopefully will complete in the next week or two.


  4. Volvo Penta would prefer that you go through a dealer, but sometimes with due diligence, you can get through to someone at VP who can answer your questions. We are a supplier to VP North America and VP Sweden where I work. I do not have any personal contacts at corporate, but I will ask sales here if they can point me in the right direction, and let you know if I can help. For now here are a couple of links that may help.

  5. It is possible to install a generator, as long as it's footprint fits in the space you have. It's quite a task. You need to

    add thru hulls for exhaust, intake, electrical connections, fuel fill, also must be inspected by proper authority to make sure

    it is properly installed, and conforms to all USCG specifications. If you do this kind of work for a living, then you probably

    can pull it off. If not, leave it to a professional to install it. My guess is the gen-set and install will cost over $3,000.

    Is it reallly worth it ?


  6. Yes, it is nothing unusual. Especially if you are in salt water. You can have a prop shop weld the holes to fill them in, then grind and polish the props and check on a MRI scanner to make sure they are at spec. Probably a couple hundred dollars per set to have this done. The pitting will not effect the performance of your boat hardly at all.
